    Yet half this board is head over heels with Jason Terry because he's a "key factor" to this team.

    Good point but...

    Why not reward Dirk for being a franchise players and champion?

    IF matthews can return healthy this is only a small albatross not a big albatross. It could be traded but honestly this is a decision that makes sense only emotionally not financially.

    So I hear that OKC has to dump Augustin, Novak, and PJ3 so they can match Kanter's offer sheet. Throw Papa's unguaranteed contract at them to land a good point guard to complement with Bev and nab a shooter.

    Reward him with what? At best a low 40 win season where they miss the playoffs?

    Why not keep Papa's contract and save it for a better player?

    Lawson still needs to be traded.

    If they want them for nothing. Is there a way of using Prigs and Dorsey instead?

    As the world turns, day by day, we are sitting prettier and prettier.
    We are going to resign Josh reasonably and we have lots of poise, and non-key assets to trade for a good PG (Lawson)

    Wes Matthews is getting paid more than James Harden.

    Related: When can we extend James?

    Makes se since they have so much cap room to waste. Or did the updated Mathews deal put them over the cap?

    Anyway, what would be our next move if Dallas over Josh an unreasonably high contract for what he's worth?

    in 2018 but basically never because he won't accept an extension.

    they have 17 mil in capspace with Matthews at his new contract. And now I'm afraid they will go after Houston. Both KJ and Smith. I have no idea what Morrey will do except that I'm waiting for a trade for a pg.

    Didn't know that, but 3 months is still a long time for another trade option to come up. I fully expect Lawson to be traded before training camp starts, they want Mudiay running the point.

    Also players like Collison, Jennings, IT or Bradley may be on the market soon as well. Augustin is alright, but we could always sign a vet min player like Gordon, Calathes, Bynum, Shved etc as backups as well for free.
